Bridge rectifier, one-phase, 1.2 kV reverse voltage, 50 A average forward current, model EB1616952706

One-phase bridge rectifier EB1616952706 is designed for conversion of alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) in medium-power applications. The device is rated for a reverse voltage of 1.2 kV and an average forward current of 50 A, providing steady rectification for power supplies, motor drives, battery chargers and various industrial equipment. The through-hole package ensures secure mechanical mounting and reliable electrical connections in printed circuit boards and panel assemblies.

Advantages

The bridge rectifier features high reverse voltage capability and a substantial average forward current rating, which together enable stable DC output under load. The through-hole construction offers strong solder joints and mechanical robustness for environments where vibration or handling may occur. Thermal conduction characteristics support integration with appropriate heat sinking, allowing sustained operation in continuous-duty applications.

Suitable for

• Power supplies for industrial and laboratory equipment
• Motor drive rectification stages
• Battery charging circuits and charge controllers
• DC bus supply in control panels and switchgear
• Medium-power conversion in manufacturing automation

Key specifications

• Type: single-phase bridge rectifier (four-diode bridge)
• Maximum reverse (peak) voltage: 1.2 kV
• Average forward current: 50 A
• Package style: through-hole mounting
• Intended use: medium-power AC to DC conversion
• Thermal management: designed for use with heat sink or thermal pad for continuous operation

How to use

Install the bridge rectifier on a PCB or mounting plate ensuring correct orientation of AC input and DC output terminals according to the circuit schematic. Provide adequate soldering and mechanical support for the through-hole leads. Connect an appropriately rated heat sink or thermal interface to maintain junction temperature within safe limits during continuous operation. Observe polarity when wiring the positive and negative DC outputs, and include proper input fusing and transient protection on the AC side as required by the application.

Usage recommendations

Use this rectifier in circuits where the AC line and load currents do not exceed the specified ratings, and maintain sufficient cooling and surge protection to prevent thermal stress and transient-induced failures. Verify component spacing and creepage distances when operating near the maximum reverse voltage to ensure safe insulation and compliance with system requirements.
